... And You Don't Mess Around With Tim!

35th Birthday news for Gretchen Wilson. Her voice will soon be a part of the TNT series Saving Grace. And her upcoming song "Work Hard, Play Harder"will be featured in an ad campaign for the show's second season. Gretchen finished a music video that includes clips from the show. The video will start airing on July 5th and the show returns for a second season on July 14th.

Thursday also finds a gazillion video views of the latest concert incident. At his show in Auburn, Washington, Tim McGraw witnessed a male fan rush the stage and allegedly attack a female fan in the front row. In between verses of “Indian Outlaw,” Tim called for security, but soon enough took matters into his own hands. As seen in the video, Tim and the stage hands pull the man out of the crowd in a scuffle and escort him off the stage.
